"It has been taken down!" One of the badgers cheered and the other followed him. They all started stomping and cheering as if they just won a war.
"Shut up! You might wake her!" The lion king roared at them. He watched Selena shift back to her humanoid form mid-sleep.
The tiger chieftain stood under the sunlight smiling, in his heart he knew it. This was the woman they could throw the alpha role at.
As he looked at Selena, the steam was rising from the dragon's freshly open corpse. It was sweet, the smell of freshly killed prey…It smelled odd…sour. He noticed the faint green color the steam was getting, a bulging was slowly rising inside the dragon's corpse.
He had a bad feeling about it, his instincts screamed to run away but his body leaped toward the dragon's corpse and stood between it and Selena.
In a flash, the corpse swelled to almost double its size and seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
